Upon the completion of all Tournament-eligible UI Design contests in a Period, all of the individual placement scores that a Contestant receives during that Period will be added for a cumulative placement score for the Period.

Up to twelve (12) total Contestants from the four (4) Periods will advance to compete in the Onsite Championship.
